Almond Shortbread Directions

2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter. Add the flour, ground almonds and sugar. Work the ingredients together.

3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead to make a smooth paté. Roll & shape into a round, about 1/2 cm thick. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the shortbread and lightly press onto the surface.

Bake for about 25 minutes, in the pre-heated oven until pale golden. cut into slices while still warm.

Add a sprinkle of brown sugar as the shortbread comes out of the oven - delicious!
